An animal rescue centre is struggling to rehome this cat, because it looks like evil Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter films. Workers at The Blue Cross in Southampton say visitors have been scared off by the white cat's resemblance to Ralph Fiennes' character in the movies. The abandoned cat, named Charlie, had to have its ears and nose removed after suffering from skin cancer. Vets say Charlie's pale skin left him at risk of developing the potentially fatal disease. They are now desperately trying to rehome him and say a family of Harry Potter fans could offer their best hope. Charlie was living as a stray before a woman adopted him, fed him and took him to the vets for surgery.The article.

I think this little guy is just adorable. I hope someone adopts him... Personally, I think it's cute that he resembles Voldemort. Maybe a kindhearted Slytherin will take him in. If I lived in the UK I certainly would look into it!

I went to the site to see what it would take to adopt him. Unfortunately, he is in Great Britain and can;t be shipped to the US. I hope that he is being advertised all over GB so that he can find a new Forever Home soon.
